Welcome to my training log!
I have decided to create this training log for 3 main reasons:
- To keep myself accountable in my training.
- To allow myself to have a visible training log that will be public and referable.
- To allow anyone to check and see if the 7 Day GPP Endurance Template is something they want to try. I will be posting reviews of the program along the way and will be following the program as close as I humanly can.
I will try to first update in a daily manner. If that is not sustainable, I will try weekly or semi-weekly.
A Quick Summary of Myself:
My name is Nik. I am a 25 year old male, 5ft 11 in tall 210 lbs with a 36 in waist at the navel, (Which is apparently not the right way to take waist measurements??). I have been training seriously for about 3 years and had a few randumb injuries that stopped me from training hard most of my lifting career :(. Now, I am the stongest I have ever been and have no injuries minus sore elbows and a sore shoulder that doesn’t really affect my training. I just finished up running “The Bridge” which was an amazing experience. It really was a great program for me. I have decided to continue using Barbell Medicine programs because I think they indeed have it all figured out when it comes to programming theory. A goal of mine is to be able to run a 5k on any day of the week without much trouble, so I decided to run the GPP Conditioning template to try and get my fat ass into shape. I will be doing running for the cardio portion of this program because that makes sense if I am trying to get better at running. I used to run track and field and cross country in high school, so I don’t think I’m too likely to get injured.
I will try to upload videos if I can but don’t expect this for at least a week or 2.
My all time best lifts are:
Low Bar Squat: 385x1 @ 10
Bench: 250x1 @ 10
OHP: 160X1 @ 10
Deadlift: 445x1 @ 10
I will be squatting high bar this block to try and let my elbows chill, and to learn how to squat high bar with heavy ass weight.
Thanks for reading.
